Experts warn that excessive consumption of seed and vegetable oils, particularly those high in linoleic acid, may increase the risk of developing aggressive breast cancer types. Research by Weill Cornell Medicine indicates that linoleic acid promotes the growth of breast cancer cells, especially the aggressive triple-negative variant. While researchers advocate for caution in dietary choices, they emphasize that moderation and a balanced diet are key measures for cancer prevention. Dr. John Blenis highlighted that these findings could inform tailored nutritional advice for patients at risk.
We now know that linoleic acid feeds cancer cell growth in a very specific way, which underscores the importance of nutritional recommendations for patients with cancer risk.
The findings do not warrant blanket avoidance of seed oils but suggest moderation and selectivity, especially for high-risk individuals. This is a crucial distinction.
